There is no similarity between golf and putting; they are two different games, one played in the air, and the other on the ground.
Golf is 20 percent talent and 80 percent management.
When I practiced, I practiced to get it right.
I don't like the glamour. I just like the game.
Relax? How can anybody relax and play golf? You have to grip the club, don't you?
I have always felt and said that a man who can be a champion in one era could be a champion in any other era because he has what it takes to reach the top.
The ultimate judge of your swing is the flight of the ball.
If a man can shoot 10 birdies, there's no reason why he can't shoot 18. Why can't you birdie every hole on the course?
There are no shortcuts in the quest for perfection.
Every day you miss playing or practicing is one day longer it takes to be good.
Hitting a golf ball and putting have nothing in common. They're two different games. You work all your life to perfect a repeating swing that will get you to the greens, and then you have to try to do something that is totally unrelated. There shouldn't be any cups, just flag sticks. And then the man who hit the most fairways and greens and got closest to the pins would be the tournament winner.
Your name is the most important thing you own. Don't ever do anything to disgrace or cheapen it.
The most important shot in golf is the next one.
Every day that you don't practice is one day longer before you achieve greatness
